Why is Agro-Climatic Zone III (South Bihar) characterized by a high dependence on groundwater and traditional 'Ahar-Pyne' systems compared to Zone I and Zone II?
Options:
- A: Due to the presence of perennial Himalayan rivers that flow through the southern plains.
- B: Due to the clayey nature of soils (Karail-Kewal) combined with lower, erratic rainfall and a sloping terrain that causes rapid surface runoff.
- C: Because the region is completely devoid of any alluvial soil deposits.
- D: Because the Sone River is the only source of water and cannot reach the eastern districts of Zone III.
